MetLife | Pet Insurance Review

I did extensive research before selecting pet insurance. My pup usually needs an annual teeth cleaning, which is rather expensive, so I was looking for something that provides worthwhile coverage and helps offset that expense. Metlife was the only one that did. When looking at pet insurance options, I generally found three options. - Option A: Basic pet insurance with no preventative care. This is the cheapest option, but the most limited coverage. It mainly only kicks in to cover emergency visits, treatments, and medications. - Option B: Most providers offer some kind of upgraded plan that includes "preventative care". This is what I was looking for. But everywhere else, these policies had so many exclusions that it felt like it was carving out half of what I'd want covered. Some specifically excluded dental care, others excluded routine veterinary care. The most consistent thing this covered was flea/tick/heartworm medication. - Option C: Metlife was the best of both worlds. On the upgraded "preventative care" plan, they say they cover anything recommended by your veterinarian to care for your pet. And they mean it! They've covered her regular preventative meds, her teeth cleaning, prescription diet, and more. The only thing they don't cover is pre-existing conditions. I see a few negative reviews about them not covering things that the client didn't provide documentation for...personally, I've never had that problem. I generally submit my documentation as soon as I get it from my vet. It takes a week or two to process, but they've never refused to pay a claim that I've documented. Hold up your end of the deal and Metlife will hold up theirs. I have friends with pet insurance or similar plans and I've never heard anyone describe their coverage as so great. It's a little bit expensive, sure, but after everything they cover, I pretty much break even every time. I might even save money. I'm so happy I found Metlife, and unless things change, I'll likely keep my policy with them for as long as I have a pet.

I’ve tried other insurance before I came across MetLife Pet Life. I couldn’t be more happier choosing them. Their claim process is very easy. They are available when you call. They explain everything so you can understand they also send updates frequently via email and best of all they direct deposit your refund fairly quickly. I will highly recommend them to anyone.

We are so glad the local Humane Society sent our Charlie home with a 30-day trial of MetLife Pet Insurance. After reviewing and comparing many other pet insurance companies, we decided MetLife Pet Insurance was the best one to suit our needs. We have not been disappointed. All claims have been handled as we were told, no surprises or hidden clauses.

Recently got pet insurance for both of my dogs thinking it would be a nice thing to have. My dog spent a few days vomiting and pooping before we were able to get her into the vet. Metlife wouldn't cover a dime as she lost a few pounds while she was puking, pooping, and hardly eating or drinking anything as it was deemed preexisting. Only to stumble upon these abysmal reviews.... So far would highly recommend looking elsewhere

MetLife is the best! I am so happy with how affordable & comprehensive this insurance is! It is easy to contact customer service & the customer service representatives are super helpful & curteous!
